A conservative victory in Wisconsin now is a done deal in the election to replace retiring uber-liberal Justice Shirley Abrahamson.

There is still hope for Wisconsin despite the election of a Dem. Governor.

I’m shocked that they didn’t ‘FIND’ enough votes in Milwaukee.

Watching that from afar that race seemed to be all about crappy road maintenance in Wisconsin. The voters appeared to blame Walker's austere budgets for that.

"We'll put in a Democrat to fix the roads, but we'll keep him in check with the legislature and SCOW." Twisted logic something like that.

[technically right]

Same thing happened in Michigan. The woman Dem candidate for Governor ran on a platform of “fixing the damn roads”, which if you’re from Michigan or drive through Michigan is a laudable goal. She also said that it could be done with current levels of funding therefore a tax increase would not be required. Soooo, she got elected. Surprise!!! Seems as if there wouldn’t actually be enough money to fix the roads so we’ll just have to raise the gas tax 45 cents. Yep, raise the gas tax and ADDITIONAL 45 cents. Michiganders are not happy but WTF did they think was going to happen?
